Be it known that I, BENEVILLE L. FnrrnRoLF, of

r Tamaqua, Schuylkill eounty`,rState of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new anduseful. Improvements in Tatting-Shuttles, and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and p exact description thereof', reference being hadto the accompanying drawing making a part of this specification, in whieh r Figure 1 is a View` of the `shuttle in readiness' for working. W i Figure 2 4represents a sectional view. Y

Figure 3a view of `the bobbiu'..

j t The nature of mysinvention consists in theconstruction of Va tattingshuttlc,as more fully hereinafter set forth.

In the annexed drawing` i A represents the `body of theshuttle, which is made of metal, and tapers from one.eud to a point, where the tattingehookD is formed. This body is hollowed outin the-usual `manuerto receive the bobbin, and

has the usual slot Bon `its sidefor` the passage of the thread from the bobbin.`

" Upon the inner sidesof `the end opposite the point isa female screw, whereby the 'solid heel E is secured by its male-screw. l

Within the heel is `formed:an'apertu're to correspond a withthe aperture made at the point, so as to form n journal bearings `for theijournals on the bobbin.

In the aperture in the heel .is placed a. small rubber cushion, x, and upon this cushion bears the bushing l W l l `E. This bushing is `of harder metal `than the heel O,

and is placed for "the purpose ofv holding the rubber and making" the tension in the aperture, and `it gives `To all whom 'i-t 4may concern.- l il a more durable bearing for the j ourual on the bobbin. Without this bushing, when the, shuttle lis in use, it wouldsoon wear and enlarge the aperture, so that the reel or spool would come in contact with the inner wall of the cylinder, thereby impeding its revoluitons.` i

The bodyvA and the taperiugpoint are made of s vone piece. The crochet-hook forming the extreme point is made of steel, and tiuned before'plaeiugit into the mold, and the metalbeing pouredrhotter than the tin on the steel hook, solders it into a; complete ing-1E, and rubber x, in the aperture on its inner end, W

substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

, 2. The within-described tattiug-shuttle, composed of the body A, with point D, head C, with bushing E, and rubber x, screwed to the body for securing the bobbiu, 1all substantially as set forth.
